Checking in

[greennotgold]

Fletcher had gotten his rooming information; apparently he didn't have a roommate yet, which was a little disappointing. He'd hoped he could at least share a room with his brother.

When he arrived in Pale dormitory, room 1-A, he looked around the large room and sighed. There were five beds, and only one tiny boy living in this room. Between waking up on a mysterious train, watching that strange movie, and now this, he found that he really wasn't liking this.

He set down the two items he'd been given -- the Exaclan rule book and the white glove -- on a bedside table, and sat down. Well. What now?

Iwahijiri... he thought he'd read that name in the guide book somewhere. He'd have to double-check.

He shook his head. "N-no, I just--I woke up on that train and then when I came in the lady at the desk said I enrolled, but I know I didn't!" He was actually shaking a little. "I never would have! They took away our memories and they're trying to--to make us fight...!"

"H-Hey... It's alright, calm down there," she stood up and moved to sit next to him, patting his head. "Things'll be alright, you know? You just need to stay positive!" Well, there was her optimism in play. Hiyo didn't really want to do this, but if it was enough to keep her mask up, then...

Her lips tugged into a frown and she looked at him straight in the eyes once more. "What do you mean took away your memories?" she questioned.

He looked up at her. She was so nice... He was at least lucky that he'd gotten someone like Hiyo as a roommate.

"The... the lady in the video said they did it to make us fight. I..." His lip wobbled, but he willed himself to keep from bursting into tears. "I can't remember my big brother's name."

Her eyes narrowed at the thought of an older brother, and she tried to remember something on her own. The name of an older sibling... Hiyo had a sister, but... What was her name? She tried to remember the name of her older sister, but it wouldn't come to mind.

How in the world did she forget her own sister's name?

"Dammit..." she whispered to herself and her knuckles turned white from tensing up so much. Her eyes were wide as she stared into her lap. "Dammit, why can't I remember..."

"...Hiyo?" Fletcher asked. "Um-- what's wrong? Did--"

She'd forgotten something too? Of course... Everyone had. There was no one at this school with their memories intact.
